    WIBTA if I tell my girlfriend to stop "frogging it" This is a throwaway because this whole situation is so stupid and I don't want it associated with my normal account.

    So my girlfriend eats popcorn by "frogging it" which means she picks up a handful, brings it up to her mouth and sticks out her tongue to quickly pull pieces into her mouth. The first time I saw her do this I was very confused and a little put off, I asked her what she was doing and she just said "I'm frogging it!" I thought it was kinda cute, if a little silly but didn't think much else of it at the time. I did not realize that she was utterly incapable of eating popcorn in any other way.

    I think it's gross and weird. It seems silly but the sounds and visuals are very childlike to me which is very off putting, especially because when she frogs it she'll often giggle in a very unnaturally for her) high pitched way if she drops a piece of popcorn or one falls off her tongue while she does it. She already isn't the most mature person who ever lived and she

    definitely leans into being pretty "quirky" which I really like about her but can also kinda slip into childishness. I know that watching New Girl was very formative to her so I don't know if the whole frogging it thing is from that show or whatever.

    I've asked her to please eat popcorn like a normal person around me but she rolls her eyes and tells me that I don't have a say in how she eats anything. Which is fair in theory but listening to her mouth smacking for 45+ minutes every time we watch tv or a movie (a couple times a week) is beginning to have an adverse effect on my mental health.

    I'm at the end of my rope here, there is only so much frogging a man can take. if I unequivocally Will I be the tell her she can't do her hellish popcorn ritual around me? She can do it all she wants when I'm not in the room, I just can't deal with hearing it anymore

    CADreamn · 3d ago Finds quirky girl to date, thinks it's cute. Then immediately tries to get her to stop being quirky. Just go find someone you actually like, instead of trying to snuff the fire out of this one.

    And no, this isn't controlling, it's common courtesy. She can do that weird on her own time Your girlfriend knows you find this behavior off-putting. It's much less of a big deal for her to just stop doing it in front of you than it is for you to have to tolerate witnessing this f disgusting nonsense

    Break up with her. She sounds childish and exhausting. Edit - NTB FFS. My God. The table manners of these commenters must be appalling

    No-Consideration8862 · 3d ago Dunno why but it feels like people wouldn't be siding so hard if it was a guy doing weird popcorn tricks every single time he ate popcorn. Regardless, NTB.

    She's being annoying and being a bit mean about it. Asking her not to eat popcorn like a fkn frog when they watch something together is NOT the same as trying to change her entire being. Eating popcorn weird and giggling. is a choice, not an unchangeable personality trait. Yall are weird.

    Roadgo... • 3d ago Edited 3d ago . I eat popcorn the same way. if it bothers you ignore it, look away. If it makes her happy and it's not hurting anybody, get over it Edit dictation error

    olivefreak · 3d ago . NBH. I've eaten popcorn the same way and now I have a cute name for it. She can eat her food how she likes but I get that you don't like hearing it. Perhaps you guys should switch to pretzels if you're watching something together and leave popcorn as a solo snack.
